TERPROM® is a proven navigation solution currently in use with 14 nations on more than 5,000 aircraft worldwide. At its heart sits the TRN function which delivers accurate, drift-free navigation even where GPS is denied. Using on-board sensors and a loaded digital map, TERPROM® provides reliable ground collision avoidance and obstruction warning without any forward electronic emissions. Whether operating in poor visibility, a GPS denied environment or at low level, TERPROM® greatly increases situational awareness, allowing the pilot to more effectively manage any mission.

"This combination of ground-based and airborne TERPROM® software allows us to support our customer, Pilatus, in delivering world-class pilot training to the ADF," said Kevin Pindard, managing director, UTC Aerospace Systems Sensors and Integrated Systems. "With this innovative technology already in use on the Australian jet trainers, there is commonality for crew across training systems."

The work is being performed by UTC Aerospace Systems' Atlantic Inertial Systems Limited business in Plymouth, U.K.
